I have a smile stretched from ear to ear to see you walking down the road...

It's been so quiet lately. I almost don't trust it, this unnatural silence. The only oddity has been the weather, which has seemed to turn bitter cold overnight. Kaa-san and I had to drag out the winter blankets, and I'm afraid I need to put away my tank tops until next year. It'll be sweaters and long-sleeves from now on

What, the tournament? You bad nagging thing, of course it's going to start... just any time now.

[pcrawford]

*as casual as if he's planned it that way all along* Why Saturday, of course, and the Dinner's Friday night. You're going to be there, aren't you? I've got a place for you at the Head Table.

[little_shizuka]

Dinner? What dinner is this, Pegasus-san?

[pcrawford]

The Opening Dinner, of course, Shizuka, we can't start the tournament without one. *light tone* Think about it, when else are reporters going to get footage of all the duellists, to show worldwide?

[little_shizuka]

...oh dear, you mean it'll be...on television? What should I wear?

[pcrawford]

*warmly* You'll look positively beautiful no matter what you wear, you know you will. ...And everyone will love you, I'm sure of it.

[little_shizuka]

That is so very kind of you to say, Pegasus-san! But you are more experienced in this sort of thing than I am. Do tell me what I should wear.

[pcrawford]

Wear something pretty. *very vague* You know, what is it girls wear? One of those long, kind of flouncy dresses would be good.

[little_shizuka]

...I'm sure Otogi-san will understand better than me.

[pcrawford]

*surveys the comments below* You really think so? He doesn't sound like he's got much of an idea.

[little_shizuka]

Well if you won't tell me, and he doesn't know...I guess I'm just out of luck.

[pcrawford]

I thought girls knew these things. You really mean you've no idea? Get one of those long dresses, something romantic looking.

[little_shizuka]

Who is being invited to this dinner? Can I bring Atemu?

[pcrawford]

Atemu? I don't know, Shizuka, these kind of things are usually just for the Guests of Honor.

[little_shizuka]

*disappointed* Oh...

[pcrawford]

You know if it were up to me I'd let you, Shizuka *wouldn't*, what can I do? It's Tournament Policy.
